Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2010
At first I thought this book would be dry like every other math book, but when I actually sat down and read it, I realized it was far from boring. You can read each chapter individually; you don't have to read the bool left cover to right. If math was taught in high school with this book, kids may find it more interesting and, dare I say, relevant.
